##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- Safe Sleep: 1. The safe sleep log was not always completed fully with the ‘ as per previous (“)’ sign used repeatedly instead of the written observation being documented each time. This is a recurrent non- compliance

- Corrective & Preventive Action Safe Sleep: 1. Staff have been made aware that they need to use actual words on the sleep sheets and not (‘’) as previously noted in the inspection. This is now done. All staff know now that the use of ‘’ is not acceptable in the sleep sheets. The room leader has been made aware of the need to keep on top of the sleep sheets, that they are being completed correctly

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 19, 20, 25.
